President Obama has made a sweeping change in foreign relations with the United States’ closet neighbor: He’s removed the embargo against Cuba, opening up friendly relations with the country for the first time in five decades. Some praise, while others like Christian Broda perhaps, criticize the move. But bastions of liberal press like The Atlantic have nothing but praise for it.

The embargo was originally set in response to the Cuban alliance with the Soviet Union. Now that Russia has disbanded the union, Cuba remains one of the last pure communistic governments in the world, identified as more of a socialist republic. While there are still concerns in Cuba regarding human rights issues, censorship, and political prisoners, those prisoners are getting released now. The United States has announced plans to build an embassy in Cuba, and while the rest of the world is perhaps in shock, it looks like a new day dawning for American foreign relations.

Most web designers out there are usually looking for jobs out there in which they will create websites or maintain websites that have a lot of content and those that need structure. This usually ends up getting them much more money than the average sites with two or three pages to it.

This being said, they love designing sites for restaurants and food related areas. They say that it is bulky enough for them to get a good pay but also not so complicated that it gives them a migraine while doing it, so less stress in involved here.

The eater site is a good example of a project that a designer may be drawn to because of how much information it has.

They also saw to add video stories of the latest news onto the top of the page such as the video interlude of ‘Watch the Stars of ‘Portlandia’ Discuss the Show’s Approach to Food’ and this is a very attractive way to get more customers to browse your site because there is nothing more that people like more than watching a video.

To learn to be good at this, Christian Broda told me that there are tutorial videos up on YouTube.

Walmart is no stranger to employment and labor disputes. The retail giant has a history of aggressively fighting claims made against them. Walmart doesn’t want its name dragged through the legal mud by disgruntled employees, so it does everything in its power to discredit any claims made by members of their workforce. But employee mudslinging doesn’t stop even when the odds of winning a case seem hopeless according to Ben Shaoul.

Walmart’s one-sided legal history didn’t stop one group from crying foul to a judge. Our Walmart, which is a union-backed group of Walmart employees, claimed that managers at Walmart stores in Richmond and Placerville California intimidated workers. Intimidation is a violation of federal labor laws. This grievance wasn’t the first one Our Walmart lodged against the mega-retailer. Over the past 36 months, the group has accused Walmart of several horrific labor practices, but most of them were dismissed for one reason or another.

The New York Times recently reported that NLRB administrative law judge Geoffrey Carter went against history. The judge ruled that was intimidation at its finest. Carter also ruled that a manager intimidated another Our Walmart supporter. The manager told the worker, who tied a rope around his body so he could pull a heavy load of goods said: “If it was up to me, I would put that rope around your neck.”

It shouldn’t be a surprise to most people that McDonald’s has been waning in popularity in the last few years. In their latest effort to attract more customers, particularly millennials, and young families who have been leaving the once beloved chain in droves.

In the past McDonalds relied on young professionals and busy families and even the fine folks like those at BRL Trust for much of its sales, but in recent years busy families and young professionals have been turning to healthier fast food, such as the food served as Chipolte, as well as spending more time preparing their own dinners and lunches and less money eating out.

A new initiative launched by the fast food giant , called McTeacher, is marketed as a way for McDonalds to give back to schools by “taking over a McDonalds” with a portion of the funds going back to the school. Critics of the initiative, including teachers and school officials, say that it is demeaning to the teachers who already work hard for little pay, and that in reality the school earns very little for all the work put in. They estimate that for most schools it ends up being about a dollar per student.

McDonald’s has been floundering since the Morgan Spurlock documentary SuperSize Me skewered the chain and the industry itself.

They have hit an all-time low since 2007, but should consumers be watching for them to skyrocket once more? Last summer the price per barrel for oil was over $100, this price has dropped by almost 50% allowing consumers to see the difference at the pumps and relieve their wallets a bit.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has gone on producing oil at the same rate month-to-month even though the demand for oil in the United States has gone down in the last year. Cars are getting better gas mileage and I think Slow Ventures is right-people are becoming more aware of the importance of energy consumption.
While gas prices are predicted to fall even more in the coming months many are concerned about the effect on the economy.
Regardless of the laws of supply and demand and the rate that The United States is now producing natural gas, the price at the pumps will probably still go back up in the spring as it always does. How much it rises is yet to be determined, but motorists are hopeful that the days of three dollar a gallon gas are over.

England’s Health and Social Care Information Centre released a report saying that shift workers have greater rates of obesity and ill-health than does the general populace, despite largely being young. The report defined shift work as “working outside the hours of 7 am to 7 pm in your (main) job.”

Despite their youth, which should result in good health, shift-workers tend to be unhealthy. 30% of shift-workers are obese, compared to 24% of the men and 23% of the women who are working during standard business hours. Additionally, 40% of the men and 45% of the women have chronic conditions like back pain and diabetes, compared to 36% of the men and 39% of the women in the general population.

Rachel Craig, the research director for the Health Survey for England, which was the basis of the report, noted that such results in young people, who should not yet have conditions linked to poor habits, indicate that shift work is bad for one’s health.

There is growing evidence that working at night disrupts one’s body clock, thereby causing health problems. Shift-workers also eat at night, and the human body isn’t designed to process food in the middle of the night. It especially isn’t designed to handle the high-calorie, high-fat foods shift-workers are apt to crave.

How Griffin Got Started in Hedge Funds
Griffin has a unique story that is rooted in education and hard work. After graduating from high school in Boca Raton, he attended Harvard University. While studying and attending classes at Harvard, he found time to start two hedge funds. He used the funds from a gift his grandmother gave him, and he reportedly traded share for these funds out of his dorm room using data transmitted through a satellite. These funds did exceptionally well, and Griffin received attention from a wealthy individual after he graduated from Harvard. This man gave him $1 million to invest on his behalf. With success investing these funds, he was able to move on to establish Citadel with approximately $4.2 million.

The Strength of Citadel
Citadel was aptly named because it is a company that is based on strength and value. The company has navigated through several economic storms, including the recent economic collapse during the recession of 2007 to 2008. Citadel’s funds were hit particularly hard, and the compay did receive some level of scrutiny, that Ken even confronted on Facebook. In fact, its funds declined in value at a significantly faster rate than many other funds did. Nonetheless, Citadel proved its strength and staying power because the funds appreciated in value once again as the economy recovered. Given that this crash was among the most significant and notable in history, this is proof that Citadel has strength.

How Griffin Gives BackGriffin has ranked in the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest individuals in the world for several years, and his net worth tallies into the billions of dollars. He is known to give back in several ways, and one of the most noteworthy of these was a large financial donation he made to his alma mater in 2014. He gifted $150 million to Harvard University, and these funds will be used to provide financial assistance to incoming students who need extra help with tuition.

Many of the most successful individuals in the business world have an interesting story of their early lives, and it can be fascinating to learn how seemingly everyday people made decisions that ultimately led to their incredible success. More than that, in this case, Griffin strives to help others achieve greatness as well. His large donation to help students who were in his shoes a few decades ago at Harvard is a testament to that.
